Chucky is back, and this time he’s in the White House. In the aftermath of last season’s Christmas episode, Jake, Lexi, and Devon are on the hunt for Chucky and Carolyn. Now Chucky is pretending to be Joseph at the White House, where Devon Sawa is now playing the president. Oh, and Jennifer Tilly/Tiffany are not in jail for murder. Just a casual day in Chucky’s universe.

I talked to Chucky’s production designer John Dondertman about creating those gorey deaths scenes, creating large sets that can fit Chucky’s puppeteers, and those epic Halloween parties and episodes.

Chucky is on Wednesday on SyFy/USA and streaming on Peacock.
